v4 cover Add cross-compilation support to eBPF samples

These patches fix issues seen when cross-compiling eBPF samples on arm64. Compared to [1], I dropped the controversial inline-asm patch and exploring other options to fix it. However these patches are a step in the right direction and I look forward to getting them into -next and the merge window.

Changes since v3:
- just a repost with acks
